Juvéderm
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. There are several products in the Juvederm family. They all are used to help people address the facial signs of aging. Each product in the Juvederm line features different bonding and concentrations of hyaluronic acid. The different products are each tailored to target specific problems when injected into different areas and depths. Juvederm fillers have a smooth, gel-like consistency.
Comparing Juvéderm and Restylane
Juvéderm and Restylane are both considered noninvasive procedures. This means that no surgery is required for either. They also both use hyaluronic acid to treat wrinkles via volume.
Juvéderm and Restylane have similar long-term results. Juvéderm may work slightly more quickly and, in some cases, may last longer — this comes at a slightly higher cost. Your provider might recommend one filler over another based on your needs and the area being treated.
How does Juvederm work?
Juvederm works by adding volume to the facial tissue through its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It stimulates the production of the connective tissue that plumps the skin (collagen). As you get older, the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases. This increases the appearance of sagging and wrinkling of the facial skin.
Juvederm injections contain a small amount of pain-reducing lidocaine. This will help minimize any pain or discomfort you feel during treatment and make it go away quickly.
Juvéderm Testimonials
Dr. Dreveskracht did a great job listening to what I wanted done, and her staff have been nothing but gold. Going into surgery, the team exuded competence, caring and a warm sense of humor. Check-ins have been regular, and Dr. Dreveskracht made sure I was able to contact her in case of emergency. My healing has been fast and uncomplicated, and results are everything I could have asked for.
I have consistently had excellent experiences when I come to this office. I have been a patient for 4 years and I count not recommend anybody more.
Working with this doctor and staff has been the most amazing experience I have had in my health experience. They are thoughtful, caring, concerned, supportive , attentive and always make time for my needs. I was just commenting to someone that I wish this office could serve as my PCP and that I definitely got more than my money’s worth from the preop to the procedure to the aftercare. They are phenomenal and I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! So super pleased!
